Snaking two #1s away from TFMurphy.

Sadness is...looking up to find the chat room empty, so nobody to boast to.

OK, I wasn't really trying to do it, but there I was...

Well, good thing you have the forum. Also, , as I just went through my #1 scores and found that they fall into precisely two categories: "rooms which I was the first to complete" and "rooms that TFMurphy hasn't played yet". Maybe with some overlap.

Yeah -- I usually see TF at the top of the scorechart somewhere.

This one, well, I was just playing through a hold that I had beta-tested but never played the finished product of. So, trying to optimize a few short rooms and I was surprised to see the '1st place!' pop up not once, but twice.

No doubt the 1st will last until TF (or someone else) notices and takes it back, but for the moment I'm enjoying them. And who knows? Maybe they'll hold up!

(My first ever #1 still hasn't been taken away yet, and that's several years old.)

Wait, I take that back. There's a single #1 in Madness in the Spring that falls into neither category. We'll see how long that stands.

I think I like the first version of this post better. Since it's unlikely to fall into the first category anytime soon.

Hmmm...haven't really tried Madness in the Spring yet. At least, not since it was a beta hold.

That would be the revised version (original version? What original version?). Go go forum lag!

Wow! I was actually pretty sure TF's awesome demos for those rooms were unbeateble.

That's encouraging. It makes me want to take a closer look at the one in between, since I know I can improve on what I've done there so far anyway...

Not quite as amazing as it would have been if it had been in the DROD RPG.

That WAS pretty amazing. There are many people having hunted those scores, myself included.

Yeah, well, my chances of beating out TFMurphy in DROD:RPG scores are really, really slim. For now, I shall just have to be content with these.

(I am also edging my way up the high score list...#38 with a bullet. And I just passed 10000 rooms a few days ago. Woo!)
